Joanna Holden - The Hound of the Baskervilles

Roll up, roll up, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls! Prepare to be entertained as never before this summer! Be astounded as our lightning-fast troupe of Victorian travelling actor-musicians turn horror into howling comedy, full of quick-fire wit, tongue-in-cheek humour and physical slapstick.

Gasp with amazement as we use music, shadow puppetry and theatre magic to turn the greatest ever Sherlock Holmes murder mystery into a family-friendly, hysterically funny, barking-mad extravaganza!

On his foggy Dartmoor estate, Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead with a look of bewilderment on his face and suspicious paw prints next to his body. Has the demon hound struck again? Can our legendary detective and his trusty sidekick solve the mystery of the Baskerville curse before anyone else comes to a grisly end?

Starring York Theatre Royal pantomime super-villain David Leonard as Sherlock Holmes, with a hugely talented cast of actors and musicians, this year’s fun-filled summer show will delight audiences of all ages.
